American Dryer Corp ML-310 Phase 7 service manual Installation Requirements

SECTION IV

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of these codes, installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1-LATEST EDITION and/or National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION.

A. ENCLOSURE/AIR SUPPLY/EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. ML-310 Phase 7 Tilting Installation Manual (ADC

For a detailed description, refer to the Part No. 113127) included with the dryer.

Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances should be made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint door. Also, allowances should be made in the rear for ease of maintenance. (Refer to the ML-310 Phase 7 Tilting Installation Manual [ADC Part No. 113127] for recommended distances and minimum allowances required.)

When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering” problems on gas dryers may result, and you also could have premature motor failure from overheating. The air supply must be given careful consideration to insure proper performance of each dryer.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.

Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized duct work will create excessive back pressure which will result in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shut down of the burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit, or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. (Refer to the ML-310 Phase 7 Tilting Installation Manual [ADC Part No. 113127] for more details.)

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED or INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN CREATEAPOTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
